“The public should not be alarmed by
the President’s proclamation because the Constitution itself provides ample
safeguards to ensure the responsible implementation of martial law. Given the
safeguards provided by the Constitution, and the President’s pure intention to
do everything within his power to maintain peace and order and ensure the
safety of the public, there should be no reason for the public to be anxious
about the proclamation of martial law,” pahayag pa ni Sec. Panelo.
